Sources have confirmed reports that Georgia special teams coordinator Scott Cochran is not currently with the staff.

The Athletic was first to report the leave.

Kirby Smart issued the following statement:

“Coach Cochran is currently dealing with health issues and is taking time to prioritize his mental health and well-being. We fully support him as he takes this time to focus on his well-being.”

Cochran’s future with the program is unclear, though sources indicate that a return is expected at some point.

He was hired prior to the 2020 season.

Georgia defensive analyst and former South Carolina and Florida head coach Will Muschamp has been promoted to an on-field role.

Muschamp’s role will not be specifically special teams focused, however, according to sources.

Georgia tight ends coach Todd Hartley and inside linebackers coach Glenn Schumann have special teams coaching experience. Both are likely to contribute to the unit.
